Tired of waterproof breathable jackets that wear out? The Cactus Mountain Jacket is for you. Built in ultra tough 3 layer WTF-3 fabric, with real exterior pockets and no bogus lighter-weight pocket linings that leak, this heavy duty jacket will protect you from the elements with way more durability than your average cut-price waterproof/breathable garment.

Here's what our testers thought of it:

"I thought the fit of the jacket was spot on. The storm flap definitely did the job of keeping snow out of the pocket - even when I forgot to zip it up I didn't loose any goodies from the pocket. I really like having no hip pockets, as there is nothing to hinder and bunch up when bending at the hip. The pockets were sufficient for carrying all the stuff I needed for ski patrolling. Another feature I thought was pretty tiptop is the foldaway collar, it works nicely when snow is blowing everywhere."

"I was surprised at how well this thing breathes given how burly the fabric is. I never got hot skiing in it, and it’s obviously gonna last forever. Had a couple of stormy days in it on the mountain, it was totally wind and snow proof and the fabric didn’t soak, so it stayed supple yet bombproof in nasty weather."

Care

To maintain the performance of your garment, we recommend washing and drying after any big mission.


Machine wash on a warm cycle (105º F/40º C) using a small amount of liquid detergent. Rinse twice, minimize spinning to reduce creasing. Do not use powder detergents or any products that contain fabric softeners, conditioners, stain removers or bleach as they will affect garment performance. Do not wash with heavily soiled clothing.

  • Do not dry clean
  • Non-chlorine bleach only when needed
  • Tumble dry on a medium heat to rejuvenate DWR coating
  • Don't have a dryer? Just drip dry then iron on low heat, no steam to rejuvenate DWR Coating
  • Close zips while washing (they'll last longer)
  • Over time you may need to restore the DWR coating. We recommend using ReviveX Durable Water Repellent Spray
  • Don't use permanent-marker, or any other solvent, on the lining of your garment
  • If you get attacked by the abominable snowman and the fabric gets holed while saving your arm, send it back and we'll patch it

Mountain jacket- da bomb

Loving my new Cactus mountain jacket. Great timing as it's been pretty wet in Sydney so I got to put it to the test straight out of the bag. I'm 185cm and the medium fits perfect with some room for a layer or two for the mountains. The chest pockets will easily fit gloves, snacks and a hip flask. I wanted a jacket that could handle the sometimes frequent 'skis and poles flying' stack on an unforgiving Australian groomed ice slope, as well as a poking from a stray branch or two. This jacket is bombproof, and after weather testing in heavy rain, can confirm waterproof as, and I should mention I felt bulletproof. Here's hoping I never have to do bulletproof testing. Thanks Cactus, love your work.

Completely waterproof and perfect as top layer in wet and windy horse riding conditions around Lake Hawea 😊
Looking forward to using it on many more trips!

just what I need, a decent rain jacket that will last the distance and not fall apart after a couple of seasons - which my last one did.
